When a Man's a Man

(4.9 stars; 11 reviews)

When a Man's a Man is a novel written by Harold Bell Wright, an author who was quite popular in the first decades of the 20th Century. This engaging story, somewhat melodramatic in its unfolding, begins with the introduction of a stranger to the still untamed Arizona landscape and to its life and people. The novel explores the contrast between the modern, civilized life of the cities with that found in the West, with its physical demands and, the author would assert, its more sincere and wholesome lifestyle. The novel's central theme may very well be an exploration of what makes a man a 'true man.' - Summary by KevinS (8 hr 37 min)

Reviews

A good listen.


(5 stars)

After the first few chapters I was questioning if I could listen to the entire book as it was a bit slow at first. I am glad I stuck with it as I really enjoyed connecting with the characters and following along with their lives. I enjoyed it so much I immediately listened to it again so I could focus on the details. The main character, a man of mystery at first, developed into a very interesting individual through the course of the story. Perhaps like a lot of people we meet in passing. Encourages me to stop and learn people's stories. Great reader as well. Easy to listen to.
